Insurgent planning and power

Bjørn Sletto

Chapter 10 in Handbook on Planning and Power, 2023, pp 149-164 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Insurgent planning arose in response to the networked policy arrangements and rationalities of participatory planning under neoliberal governance. As a theory of practice premised on critical dialogue and situated knowledges, insurgent planning inherited conceptualizations of agency characteristic of neo-pragmatic thinking in communicative planning. Emerging strands in insurgent planning, however, call for a deeper consideration of materialities and their role in producing insurgent action, drawing attention to performative understandings of power. Insurgent planning is also increasingly informed by relational understandings of power to better understand the situated realities, power relations, and often conflicting epistemologies that drive actions that might be considered insurgent. Finally, the concern for a homogenizing discourse of insurgent action and the lack of clarity of agent power in effecting change has brought renewed attention to co-production, including situated considerations of the role of different actors, including the insurgent planning scholar, in producing counterhegemonic knowledges, imaginaries, and actions.
